We want all children with special educational needs and/or disability (SEND) to have the right to a fulfilling life, with equality of access to opportunities that improve their life chances and empower them to be the best they can be.

We are in the process of finalising a new Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP), ‘Our Children, Our Future’, which includes those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

An extensive consultation exercise took place during the spring and summer of 2017 with children, young people, (including those with SEND) and their families.

Feedback from this consultation has helped determine the priorities within both our Children and Young People’s Plan and the SEND Strategy. It showed that we still have more to do to fully include children and young people and their families.

Since 2014 we have worked closely with partners from education, health and care services to tackle inequality and provide local services and inclusive education provision for children and young people with SEND.
